There is nothing more inspiring to an artist than to try new techniques or experiment with current styles, colors or sizes!
I am fortunate enough to be one of those multi-faceted artists who thrives on challenges. Portraits have always been and will always be, my first love, but it's the energy that comes from trying new ideas that energizes me!
So what have I been up to? Portraits of course, but so much more :-) The 3 below are a few recent portraits-all pastels.

Pastel 14 x 18

Pastel 11 x 14

Pastel 11 x 14

I have also been creating my silk scarves in new techniques and dyes as well as a very cool art piece using aluminum and gold leaf (courtesy of hubby, Stephen Filarsky of www.Goldleafman.com)

8 x 54 scarf

These are soft pastel colors that come from a dye that not not need to be steamed or heat set-nice!And finally I have the combined efforts of Stephen Filarsky for our raised art relief.(Sorry about the photo positioning-can't easily arrange anything on this blog!
